Celebrating the work of botanical artists who have documented Philippine plants and contemporary Filipino visual artists who have derived inspiration from plants and read them as a metaphor of the human condition. Bro. Kamel, who arrived in the Philippines in 1697, placed the Philippines in the world map of science through his vigorous study of local flora that led to drawings of about 270 plant specimens.
Flora is presented by the Ateneo Art Gallery in cooperation with the Ateneo de Manila University's Fine Arts Program and the School of Science and Engineering.
